no cause Guards cannot get out of a bad position, and will get ganged if team runs back. same with slow engineerings.
atleast the rating should be changed a little bit. missions does not increase anything in rating.

You need to pay more attention then. Whenever I see a ship out of position, I ping them for the team. Perhaps the same is happening to you. Stay behind cover, and stay with your team. They are a better shield than yours.
I know theres a lot of people with high DSR that only go for weakened enemies, and microwarp away right after they receive a scratch. But to think that the best players ingame do that is kinda wrong.
Define scratch…
Yes, I know my Sai’s boosted my DSR unfairly, but I get more than a scratch when I GTFO and I go back in at 50% of hulls and shields willingly. Sometimes to my death.

If anything I’d like my rating to go down… don’t see why you want yours to go up.
I want to be at the mercy of the matchmaker.

That is easy, go to T1 and fly only a Zealot. Your SR will go down pretty fast.
But anyway, a good T3 or T4 game in where you don’t die and kill a lot will boost your SR about 30 or 40 points alone. I needed 12 lost games in a row to reduce my SR from 1550 to 1470. And only 2 games to reach 1500 again. So no matter how hard you try. Playing well your SR will increase.
1500sr is easy to get, real fun starts above 1600.
If you are doing a good job then your W/L ratio is going to increase. Isn’t that way better than SR ? Beside we got those thumbs up thingy now and I always make sure to rec the best support player.
I think the point brought up was missed. The current reward system gives points based on the fraction of damage dealt. So 5,000 damage to a 10,000 HP ship gets a bigger reward than 5,000 damage on a 30,000 HP ship. This encourages (some) players to go for the smaller ships. Although I think the new reward system is going in the right direction, perhaps it can be improved further. Perhaps points should be awarded corresponding to the damage dealt instead of % of total damage. This means that bigger ships with more HP would give more rewards.

Have fun getting into a corp :taunt: If you’re able to get your skill rating above 1300, that’s a decent place to be. Having an 1850 skill rating looks pretty amazing, though *coughNeoCodex*

Good thing I don’t want to be in a corp ^^
Having an 2160 skill rating looks pretty amazing, though *coughRezak*
fix’d :taunt:

Don’t you dare to compare NeoCodex to Rezak…

Nah, of course not, just saying… :fed002:
NeoCodez gots nothing on my 1300 SR…
We still cant kill each other in a 1 v 1 dogfight. FML
No offense and this is offtopic but I’ve seen quite a lot of supposedly ‘skilled’ pilots flying DLC ships with purple gear in lower tier games. With advantages like that anybody can get a high rating… I lost count how many times my lvl 7’s had to play with fully equipped lvl 9’s. I know there is not enough population in this game for the match maker to function properly but pairing a new lvl 7 with a DLC lvl 9 is absolute BS.

While i agree on the point that prem ships shouldn’t have reduced MM rating, in the same time those that are skilled and fly premiums still get pushed into games vs R11 all the times, So either you see real scrubs in those prem ships or there is hardly anyone online. In the same time, most of those players that do fly premiums, fly it to primarily farm free synergy, they already have all t3 ships maxed out, so they use that free synergy to level t4/t5 ships, plus much higher credit gains. And the truth is you aren’t getting much rating facing low level players, because if you kill 10 of them and die once you still lose more rating than gain at certain point.

A hit that takes out 1/4 of the shield.
Or, a target paint, or anything that debuffs it, like drones.

Every time I go back to Tier 2 because I want to play with some friends who are starting or help a corp mate to elite a tier 2 ship, I lose DSR, because in Tier 2 you don’t have the same survivability than in tier 3, and you die more often.
And I’m flying with premiums, just because:
-
I have already maxed out all ships up to rank 8 and half rank 9
-
Premium ships gives you free synergy and more credits reward.
But in fact, most premium ships are not better than their rank free counterpart. And some of them are even slighty worse, or more difficult to fly.

These things will happen until we can get decent playerbase.But good equiped lvl 7 is more than a match for lvl9.

So then get your ships fully synergized and fit them with full Mk.IV modules. If you’re not paying for the game, you have no right to criticize the players who do. You can easily fight them off if you take the time to properly fit your fleet.
